Ge Xingchen, the Crown Prince's副官, saw the message from the Crown Prince, which instructed him to go to a certain police station to oversee a case and prevent any malfeasance.
"What exactly is the Crown Prince doing these days?"
Ge Xingchen murmured in confusion but set aside his urgent tasks. The Crown Prince's instructions were paramount.
With that in mind, he drove to the police station mentioned by the Crown Prince.
With the matter resolved and the perpetrator taken away by the police, Meng Huai entered the house.
Seeing that Meng Huai had finally 'finished his business,' Tang Xuehai approached her. "Little Meng, do you have a moment to chat!"
Meng Huai looked at Tang Xuehai and said, "Mr. Tang, you could have just transferred the money. Why come all the way here in person?"
The dividends for the month were due to be credited in the next couple of days, but Tang Xuehai had contacted Meng Huai the previous day saying he would meet her tomorrow to transfer the money.
Meng Huai wondered if he wasn't bothered by the inconvenience.
However, she knew that Tang Xuehai must have a reason to seek her out, so she uttered those words just to lighten the mood.
"Little Meng! Boss Meng, you're no fun!"
Tang Xuehai, a major businessman, complained about Meng Huai, but he quickly explained the purpose of his visit. "Our collaboration on the antidote potion is going very well. Can we consider a new partnership?"
"New cooperation?"
Tang Xuehai looked nothing like a CEO at this moment. He nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, yes! Do you have any new potions we can collaborate on?"
Tang Xuehai hadn't just been sitting around waiting. He had been browsing the menu of the shop, noting that each medicinal dish had some beneficial effect.
These were like low-tier potions. If there were high-tier potions for each of these dishes, wouldn't he make a fortune!
Tang Xuehai was lost in his dreams, but it wasn't up to him to decide. Everything depended on whether Meng Huai would 'bestow' a potion or two for collaboration.
Meng Huai waved her hand, signaling him to sit elsewhere. Then, Meng Huai also grabbed a stool and sat down.
Who would have thought that their casual postures were in the midst of discussing a business that could earn tens of billions a month!
Meng Huai placed her hands on the table, tapping her nails on the surface as she pondered.
"What kind of potions do you want?"
Hearing Meng Huai's words, Tang Xuehai wondered if he could have whatever he wanted.
This was his chance to speak. Tang Xuehai cleared his throat, preparing to launch into a long speech.
Tang Xuehai flipped through the menu and pointed at items for Meng Huai. "This one, this one, for treating baldness! Do you have any potions that, after drinking, will continuously grow hair? And this one, a potion for the elderly that allows them to walk as fast as flying. And also, your super popular beauty-enhancing tea! Can you make a potion out of that too?"
Meng Huai looked at Mr. Tang, who was speaking freely and making all sorts of predictions like a child. But why were his predictions so peculiar!
Meng Huai asked with a face full of suspicion, "No, Mr. Tang, are you trying to steal my business?"
Tang Xuehai was taken aback by the question. "What do you mean? We are collaborating, how is that stealing business!"
Meng Huai tapped on the menu with her finger, saying, "Your potions are all the current signature dishes of my medicinal restaurant. If you make a potion that solves it, will my medicinal restaurant still operate!"
Hearing this, Tang Xuehai understood. It was indeed true. But he quickly amended, "How can that be the same? These medicinal dishes can not only treat illnesses but also satisfy hunger. Eating something provides a sense of fulfillment that a potion cannot!"
Meng Huai directly stated the reason, dispelling Tang Xuehai's idea. "These issues are not something that a single potion can solve. It's not that easy; these ailments require long-term conditioning."
Tang Xuehai was disheartened by Meng Huai's words. "What a shame."
But Meng Huai then said, "Well... however..."
"However what?"
Tang Xuehai anxiously asked, seeing Meng Huai stop halfway through her sentence.
Meng Huai told him, "I recall that the Tang Corporation doesn't only have a pharmaceutical business, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, our Tang Corporation has more than just pharmaceuticals, we also have..."
Tang Xuehai listed a lot of things. Meng Huai listened and thought, the scope is truly vast!
After Tang Xuehai finished speaking, he asked, "And then? What are your thoughts?"
Meng Huai continued, "However, for issues like baldness, in addition to eating medicinal dishes, using effective hair care products would certainly yield better results. As for the beauty-enhancing tea, I have some formulas that can be made into skincare products, which would also be good."
Hearing this, Tang Xuehai realized these were daily necessities and also best-selling products!
"That's great! Can these products also be effective when used alone?"
Meng Huai heard this and thought he was trying to move away from the medicinal dishes. But she affirmed him, "That's right, they can be said to be better than any product on the market. Are you doing this business or not?"
"Yes!"
Tang Xuehai said with certainty, and then he began to discuss the details of the collaboration with Meng Huai, inquiring about the production process and materials, and whether the Tang Corporation could easily provide them.
"Of course."
Thus, another collaboration was completed. Meng Huai handed Tang Xuehai some bottles containing pills.
"I made these pills myself. Can you help me sell them?"
It wasn't easy to sell pills. While giving a couple to friends privately was fine, selling them without proof was not. Even the antidote pills could only be sold in the online store because Tang Qianyi had provided proof.
However, other pills lacked proof, making them impossible to sell.
But Meng Huai believed that for the Tang family, this wouldn't be a major issue.
It indeed wasn't an issue.
Tang Xuehai opened a bottle and saw it was filled with pills. He could also smell them.
"What are these?"
Meng Huai provided Tang Xuehai with the names and effects of the pills she had written down, as well as the appearance of the bottles they were in, so Tang Xuehai could identify them.
"They are just some pills. These are their effects, take a look."
Tang Xuehai took them and looked. At the top it read: Instant Recovery Pill: For those who have lost a lot of blood, it instantly resolves various problems caused by excessive blood loss.
